The major concern of this particular study is the consistent poor average scores in the subject currently witnessed at the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) level in Physics, which can be attributed to low student motivation and traditional teaching strategies.

Education in a school is explored by provision of resources, their maximum utilization and management. Proper management of resources enhances students’ performance and achieves the educational objectives. The success or failure of any organization, business or enterprise depends highly on proper management of human and material resources.

Many reasons which have been attributed to the poor results include improper use of media resources as it compromises the quality of teaching. The purpose of the study was to find out challenges facing teachers in preparation and utilization of instructional media in teaching Kiswahili. Dale’s cone of experience formed the theoretical framework of the study. The study was based on descriptive survey research design. The study population comprised of 28 head teachers, 90 Kiswahili teachers and 39,327 students in selected public secondary schools in Kenya, specifically in Sabatia district. The schools were stratified into three categories namely; girls’ schools, boys’ schools and co-educational schools from which 9 public secondary schools were selected. Two schools were used in the pilot study. Simple random sampling method was used to select 9 Head teachers, 30 Kiswahili teachers and 395 f...

The purpose of the study was to establish factors that influence preparation and utilization of instructional media in teaching Kiswahili in selected public secondary schools in Kenya. Dale's cone of experience formed the theoretical framework of the study. Descriptive survey research design formed the basis of the study. The study population comprised of 28 head teachers, 90 Kiswahili teachers and 39,327 students in selected public secondary schools in Sabatia District. Simple random sampling method was used to select 9 Head teachers, 30 Kiswahili teachers and 395 form three students. Teachers' and students' questionnaires were used to collect information from teachers and students respectively while an interview guide was prepared to obtain data from school head teachers. Qualitative data was received in verbatim and then transcribed and reported in themes and sub-themes while quantitative data obtained was analysed by descriptive statistics such as means, percentages and frequency counts. The study revealed that instructional media resources are poorly utilised by Kiswahili language teachers. The study recommends that the Ministry of education should forecast and plan to fund secondary schools.
